Shadow Temple was too cartoonishly Halloween to be truly scary

Forest Temple felt like a legit haunted old castle in the forgotten depths of the woods

It's also a lot easier to get lost in the Forest Temple

Shadow Temple is rather straightforward

Shadow Temple might have the big dumb halloween props but it's also got fake walls and invisible paths balancing it out. In Forest Temple you get what, one twisty hallway.

Forest Temple shows you pretty early that the main thing there is big dumb cartoon ghosts that actively hide from you.

Shadow Temple has Redeads and Gibdo, so no.

Forest Temple does have less conventional horrors though, yeah. Wallmasters, winding corridors, crushing ceilings, Phantom Ganon...

You will never forget the first time you get grabbed by a wall master and hearing Link scream as the screen goes black.

Also way creepier music.

Redeads and Dead Hands are scarier than the monsters in the Forest Temple. Also invisible enemies. But both have a creepy atmosphere.

Master Quest adds Redeads to the Forest Temple.

Shadow Temple also has Wallmasters too and that creepy Dead Hand.

Yeah, that music is something else

What I'm getting at here is the Forest Temple overall has a creepier atmosphere than the generic "house of horrors" the Shadow Temple was going for...

I remember during one of the playthroughs I was taken aback by how creepy forest temple music was.

And wallmasters will always be terrifying

Forest Temple would be even more effective if it had no enemies whatsoever (or only Wallmasters). Invoke the Nothing is Scarier trope. The music is already perfect for it. Maybe lower the lighting in certain areas too.

On a minor note, the outside sections with the static blue sky? While unintentional, that effect can be quite creepy if you think of the temple as some kind of alternate dimension where time is frozen.

That said,

I mean they're both super scary as is the monster under the well. I'm just saying forest temple was surprisingly scary when surely that wasn't the vibe they were going for

The forest temple music was incredible. I mean it was really annoying at the time if you were stuck not knowing what to do, but as a piece of music it was incredible. Really fed into the weird out of body timeloop experience.

Speaking of music, am I the only one who likes the second version of the Fire Temple - the one that removes the chanting - more than the first?

Forest temple had the creepy music, the twisty hallways, and the wall masters. The vibe in the forest temple was immaculate and unsettling.

Definitely the temple that scared me the most as a kid. The others were mostly just really badass and epic, but the forest temple really emphasized the difference between kid link and adult link.
